Minimally Invasive Techniques in Proximal Tibial Fracture
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
A series of 20 patients of proximal tibial fractures treated with minimally invasive techniques have been reviewed after surgery. All the operations were performed using image intensification to aid reduction of the fracture by ligament taxis and to guide screw placement. 16 patients with minimally displaced or undisplaced fractures were treated with closed reduction and internal fixation with cannulated or cancellous screw. 4 patients with comminuted fractures were treated with buttress plating. Out of 20 patients, 16 had excellent results, 3 had good results and 1 patient had a fair result. Two patients had superficial wound infection and two patients had palpable screw. This minimally invasive technique avoids many of the complications of both conservative and operative treatment and will have an expanding role to play in the management of these fractures. Keywords: Minimally invasive technique, proximal tibia, buttress plating.
